All the Weber Carb parts you need

Post by wubie317 »

Highly recommend Pierce Manifolds. They seem to have almost everything, good prices and fast shipping. They even have the schematics for our carbs with hyperlinked parts that are easy to see, even if you don't know what a doohickey is called.

Thank you. They sell a "Turtle back" for the 32 ADFA. I rather like the look of stock but I've heard here that they are "restrictive". Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know of other options for a 32 ADFA air filter?

If your engine is stock, the stock filter will be fine. I actually run a stock 1971 air cleaner on my Spider with the 2 liter engine, but I added a second air inlet (it only had one originally) and hoses than go to either side of the radiator for outside air.

Thanks! My '77 of course has two inlets and a cover that you turn seasonally so that in winter the air comes heated from the manifold (If the hose is still there). Seems to me that you would only get warm air after the car has run a bit so it wouldn't help to start the car easier. And I'd always heard that colder air is denser and better for combustion performance. Or is this another emissions feature?
